My research helps society better understand how inflation evolves and how it affects households, companies, and policymakers. Inflation is central to people’s everyday lives—determining purchasing power, investment decisions, and economic stability—and my work sheds light on how expectations, government spending, and financial markets shape its dynamics. 

I focus on how inflation expectations remain anchored, how the Phillips curve works in practice, and how shocks—such as housing booms or fiscal expansions—affect prices and output. This research contributes to central banks and governments making better policy decisions, which in turn supports economic stability and protects people from unexpected costs of living crises. 

Beyond research, I contribute to the academic community by teaching, collaborating internationally, and publishing work that bridges theory and practice. I aim to make complex macroeconomic issues accessible, informing both academic debate and real-world policy. 

My ambition is to provide insights that help design robust economic policies, ensuring that economies remain resilient in the face of uncertainty and that societies can better manage inflation’s impact on prosperity and wellbeing.
